Putting airbangs in airplanes?
Because any accident at 30,000-ft. wouldn’t be safe without, increasing standards to improve the safety of the cabin are prompting airlines to include airbags.
With tougher safety standards for airplane cabins looming on the horizon, the aviation industry is turning to a tried-and-true technology from the family car: air bags. Built into specially equipped seatbelts, these air bags explode outward in the event of a sudden impact, cushioning passengers from smacking their heads or torsos against seat dividers, bulkheads, galleys, lavatories and other potentially hazardous obstructions. [...]
The impetus for air bags comes from research that determined that in many airline crashes, the actual impact was survivable.
Why am I not surprised. Toss an airbag into any safety mix and everyone is happy. I mean, if something like the crotch airbag or motorcycle jacket airbag can be developed, why not 30,000-ft. airbags?
